Existing law regulates insurance and the business of insurance in the state. Under existing law, an insurer is liable for a loss of which a peril insured against was the proximate cause, although a peril not contemplated by the contract may have been a remote cause of the loss. Under existing law, an insurer is not liable for a loss of which the peril insured was only the remote cause. This bill would require coverage to be provided if a loss or damage results from a combination of perils, one of which is a landslide, mudslide, mudflow, or debris flow, if an insured peril is the efficient proximate cause of the loss or damage and coverage would otherwise be provided for the insured peril. The bill would require coverage to be provided under the same terms and conditions as would be provided for the insured peril. The bill would state that it does not constitute a change in, but is declaratory of, existing law, and that it does not alter or abrogate any coverage or defenses, either in contract or law, that existed prior to January 1, 2019.
